Challenger's 7

May 7, 1986

THE SEVEN ASTRONAUTS who died in the Jan. 28 explosion of the space shuttle Challenger would be immortalized by legislation passed Tuesday in the Senate. The chamber sent Gov. Bob Graham a bill (HB 945) by Rep. Richard Crotty, R-Orlando, that would name a portion of State Road 407 near the Kennedy Space Center ''Challenger Memorial Parkway.'' The vote was unanimous.
